Only new car ive ever bought and still running strong at 300k km. Engine replaced under a factory recall at 187k. Hows that for customer support....no one does that they did. All original wheel bearings and exhaust and front end. Aside frome the engine change its needed front and rear calipers 3 times. Thats it. All controls still work ac works everything has held up well. No rust whatsoever and i live in a heavy salt area near the ocean. If the engine has been replaced buy one. It should be cheap given its now 11 years old.
